To The Editor: The propaganda now flowing monthly from the pen of Robert McCarson bothers this Christian, Anglo-Saxon, Jefferson Davis partisan.

He wants access to Social Security for illegals, labeling the threat to it the baby boomers, law-abiding citizens like my parents.

The tendency of immigrants being far younger with more children is not a solution, just a vacuum for what is left.

He thinks immigrant payment of sales tax is a substantial contribution to public coffers. Visit a school, park, hospital or look into the vehicles on the roads and rethink that one.

He states immigrants create more jobs than they fill. By his numbers more than 4 million jobs have been created by undocumented Mexicans. How does an impoverished immigrant get the start-up capital to open his own business?

Comparing immigration today with that of a century or more ago is outlandish. There was no system that fed and educated their children, provided free modern health care while encouraging them to retain their customs and language.

A representative of a European country most certainly didn't set up shop at a government establishment to help them evade this country's laws.

It's interesting the International Peace Zone harbors so many federal criminals.
